@ein also uware'of the Fulton patent for gege coole lo. 26H46 elutedNovenihcill, i882, in whichthe .fslveis a cylindrical member or rodprovided at a point above or beyond Aits sent with en annuler collarprovided with inclined Water passages to con vert said coller into esort of propeller or peddle Wheel, whereby the water or steam utter itpasses the seat will be directed through said propeller and cause thevalve rod ormeinher to rotate. Thistleviee. is inapplicable vto pumpvalves since the propelling veins are located directly in the tiuidpessege and would thus materially obstruct In my device l secure therotation et the valve disk hy shouting or detiecting' u port-ion of thewater through the disk itself? that is l plecevthe propelling vein orveins Within the body' proper of the vulve dish; so that the rot-ationor the valve is not only secured without obstructing the free ci thewater but is in fact secured in e. manner which actually facilitates thedischarge et the water and increases -the caof the valve to the extentof the-openor openings in the valve disk. I refer providing 4the vulvedisk with a su cient number of openings to materially increase thecapacity of the valve, but it is obvious that it is Within the spirit othis invention to reduce the number of openings to one and to reduce thearen of this single opening to e size which will be sufficient simply toa slight rotation of the valve at each passage et the Water past it.

l claim as my invention l.. A pump valve provided with :i pluralof superosed plates centrally guided to I rise und ful upon the'seat, and havinginelned surfaces against which the Waiter lionv4 ing through the valvewill react to produce relative rotation ot the plates, substantiallyy asdescribed.

2. A pump valve provided with a plurality of superposed plates centrallyofuided to rise and full upon the sent, each Pilate having inclinedapertures against the walls of which the Water flowing through thevulves will react to individually rotate the plates, substantially asdescribed.

misuse 3. A pump valve provided with u plural-v ity of supcrposed platescentrally guided lo rise and full upon the sont, euch plutohavinginclined apertures against the walls of which the wnter flowingthrough the vulve will react to individually rotute the platt-s, theinclination of the apertures in the udjncent plates beingv oipositc toeuch other so as to reverse the irection of their rotary movement,substantiully ns described.

4. In combination, n vulve-seat carrying a central opstanding guideiinor bolt, u rotatable valve-disk mounte on this pin and adapted to seatagainst this seat und provided with water-passages extending directlythrouffh its body proper, another vulve-disk slidaby mounted onguide-pin and normally losin the Water- )assages through the aforestidV3 ve-dislr,u11d1ncans on the guidepin it'or normally holding bothplates or disks against their respective seats. one of the possages inthe first-named valve disk having an inclined face against which waterowing through the valve will react und rotute said disk not onlywithrespect to the sent but also with respect to the vulve-disk above whoseseat it forms.

5. In cembinetion, u valve-seat, u disk seated thereon and provided withWalen passages extending directly through its hody proper, and anotherdisk seated on top of the aforesaid disk and normally closing the Weiterassages therethrough und having n limite vertical movement independentlyol" the lower disk, und menus for nornmlly seuling both disks againsttheir respective sent-s, one of the passages in the tiret-namedvulvedisk having un inclined face against which water lowing through thevulve will rcuct and rotate Suid disk not only with respect to the seatbut also with respect to the vulvedisk above whose sent it forms.
